Hello, with the recent release of ROS2 dashing, I was asking myself if you can integrate ROS2 into an IDE like ROS1 and QRcreator or the ROS vscode plugin. I'm not the most experienced Ubuntu user, but I had a good run with ROS1. Is there a way of integrating ROS2? How should I debug my code instead?
I also use CLion and had a hard time to start with it. But it works perfect like this:
It is possible to have clion create a command-line launcher for you. If you installed with the Jetbrains toolbox app, it should do that automatically and you can just use clion. If you installed standalone, it should be under tools -> create command-line launcher (or something to that effect.)
When clion creates the command-line launcher it just puts a little script in your ~/.local/bin folder, which lets you start clion from terminal with just a clion <folder_to_open>. When developing, I usually cd to the workspace root, source things that I need to, and run clion . & (open current dir as a clion project) This way I still have a terminal open that has stuff sourced that I need, and now I have clion running that has all the ros stuff in it's PATH..
It seems CLion requires a paid license beyond a 30 day evaluation period. Is there any other option with free IDEs? I did find this page on the ROS website but it looks to be quite complicated.
It's not a full integration yet, but ros-industrial/ros_qtc_plugin#352 adds initial ROS 2 / colcon support to the ROS-I Qt Creator plugin.
I've been using Clion for nearly all my ros1/2 development. The big thing is to start clion from a terminal that is sourced for your workspace. After that, I can right click on the CMakeLists.txt file for the package I need to work on, and select Load CMakeLists.txt Once that's done, I have access to all the code completion, suggestions, etc. I can build the package, run/debug, etc It works for both python and c++ nodes.
